Reflections from a rooftop overlooking the sea

What is it about the sea that's so calming
and the sky that's so uplifting?

The sea is anything but calm -
it's constantly moving
there are always currents and turbulence within!

And the sky is never lifting up
in fact it's always pressing down on us -
air pressure!

What science cannot observe or measure
our faith perceives.

The sea tells us that God is in control
the world is in His hands.
Hence we can find peace
in the midst of turbulence.

The sky points us to a better place than this
somewhere up there is the heaven we're going to one day.
Therefore we have hope
in the face of the stress and pressures of life.

What science cannot observe or measure
our faith perceives.

God of This City

The Chris Tomlin version of this song is more well-known but I personally prefer the original by Bluetree. ;)

As we sing this song, we are declaring and praying and hoping to see God work mightily in our nation. But have you ever realised that it also means that we are putting ourselves at His disposal to work mighty things through us? Yes, greater things will be done, but only if His people are willing to be used by Him to do these greater things!

How can we possibly do all that, you may ask... All it takes is for us to allow Him to work through us. It's not what we can do but what God can do through us. Great and mighty things, wonders and miracles will He perform through us. Doubt is the only obstacle, so just believe that He is able to do all things in and through us and He will do it!
